Key data

The University of Murcia announces 19 career civil service positions distributed across five scales and three different subgroups, according to the Resolution of July 3, 2026 published in the BOE. Access is through competitive examination in open competition, which means that any citizen who can prove the requirements can apply, with no reserved positions for internal promotion in this announcement.

The application submission period starts on July 9, 2026 and extends for 20 business days. All processing is electronic through the convocum.um.es portal. The complete regulations are published in the BORM and on the University of Murcia website.

What does this announcement establish?

The resolution announces positions in three subgroups of professional classification of civil service personnel. Below is the complete breakdown of positions by scale and subgroup:

Subgroup C1 concentrates 17 of the 19 positions, with the Archives and Libraries Assistants and Specialist Technicians in Socio-Health Laboratories scales being the most numerous, with 8 positions each. Subgroups A2 and A1 offer one position each, aimed at more specialized profiles in research management and statistics.

The selection system is competitive examination in open competition, a modality that combines an examination phase (eliminatory tests) with a competition phase (merit evaluation). The specific regulations for each scale, including syllabi, exercises and scoring criteria, are available in the BORM and on the university's official website.

Economic and operational impact

For candidates, obtaining a career civil service position at the University of Murcia means achieving job stability, remuneration regulated by public sector agreements and professional career rights. The subgroups determine the starting remuneration level:
